Last I checked, the process was wind erosion. Water may have also played a role, but in a mountain range when it becomes more rounded, rather than jagged, it is usually wind erosion. the Appalachian Mountains are also hypothesized to be older than the Rockie Mountains therefore, having more time to wear away.
What else can I help you with?
Which states are located furthest from the Appalachian Mountains?
States located furthest from the Appalachian Mountains are in the western United States, such as California, Oregon, and Washington. These states are located on the other side of the country, furthest away from the Appalachian range.
What is the slowly wearing away of mountains called?

Why are the peaks of the rocky mountains are higher and more jagged than the Appalachian mountains because?
The Appalachian mountains are about 400-500 million years old and have thus been eroded down. The Rocky mountains are very young (they are still being built) and are therefore much higher and jagged as the forces of erosion have not yet had time to grind them away.

Are the Appalachian mountains older than the rocky mountains?
The Appalachians are older than the rocky mountains because of the fact that the Appalachians are smaller in size proving that the Appalachians have had longer to have been worn away by weathering also please do not just copy and paste you will learn nothing...
How do canyons mountains and cliffs usually change after the amount of the rainfall dramatically increases?
When rainfall increases erosion increases, wearing away the mountains and cliffs and filling in the canyons with the products of erosion.
What natural process has worn down Appalachians mountains?

Water may have also played a role, but in a mountain range when it becomes more rounded, rather than jagged, it is usually wind erosion. the Appalachian Mountains are also hypothesized to be older than the Rockie Mountains therefore, having more time to wear away.
